pauldoubleyou Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 For a shitty ex post office combo I bought. Most of the tyres are borderline so there’s a veritable selection of alloys for corsa on gumtree etc. Question is, for a van that will never go over 80 and never hold a heavy load, 15” OEM or 17” TSWs?

pandamonium Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I'd go for 15s with higher profile tyres, for comfort, tyre cheapness etc LightBulbFun, Lacquer Peel, Lord Sterling and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBulbFun Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 nah m8 you want 15 inch wheels on one side and 17 inch wheels on the other-side sideways rake is best innit? GrumpiusMaximus and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 It depends where you live. If you are in the highlands of scotchland, I'd be buying new winter tyres. In 15 inch If you live in Cardiff, I'd be suggesting uniroyal rainsport2 in a 15 inch size. Definitely no alloys and see not piss around with part works either GrumpiusMaximus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Whatever the cheapest tyres are so that would be the 15 inches. Alloys are pointless on a working van. GrumpiusMaximus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangernomics Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Mot checks include load of wheels / tyres match vehicle details so ensure they’re the right load rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Just make sure the offset is right for a Vauxhall. Otherwise it will tramline like an omega All Vauxhall are shite. Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
